No Budget, No Pay, No Honor

No Budget, No Pay...Seriously?!? Are we really going to fall for another "clever" play by Boehner? Have we not learned our lesson? I am fed up with this gamesmanship at the expense of our children. How about you? Are you going to support your Representative in a vote for this new Congressional disaster? Here is my letter to Mr. Boehner and my thoughts on this new "plan" to destroy America. If you agree, please send this to your Representative as well as Mr. Boehner and tell them if they vote for this plan, they have proven they have no honor!

Mr. Boehner,

We The People are now in possession of your plan called “No Budget, No Pay.” You are such a clever boy, I’m so proud that we paid our House of Representatives to bunker off with you to a retreat so that you could all pool your ignorance and come up with this jewel. What did we get for our tax-payer dollars: More proof that you and those who follow you in the House of Representatives are completely pusillanimous cowards to the point of disgrace.

I am not quite certain what kind of game you are trying to play, but stop it; will you please just stop it? In the last four years you have made our House of Representatives, if not the entire Congress, completely irrelevant to the running of this nation. You have handed more power to the executive branch than it has stolen from you. Through your infinite wisdom you altered the NDAA of 2012 to give the President of the United States the unilateral and arbitrary authority to use the powers under the Laws of War for any situation he might deem a “hostility,” completely eliminating the need for Congress to actually DECLARE war. You have failed time and time again to protect your citizens from the harassment and abuse of power waged upon them by the very agencies that YOU FUND and have a duty to OVERSEE AND CONTROL. And NOW you intend to give Barack Obama and his administration unlimited spending authority for three months in exchange for what; the promise that the Senate will engage in a Budget DEBATE sometime in the future? How stupid do you think we are? We know what a politician’s promise is worth and we also know how much this administration can spend in three months with a blank check from Congress. Since we no longer need you to declare war, you refuse to defend your citizens from arbitrary and abusive government, and the Executive branch can tax and spend without you, please do tell me, sir, what are we actually paying Congress to do these days?

John Adams warned us of a day when morality would fail and pretexts would be invented to take the property from those who have and give it to those who do not. He said it would not be long before “the idle, the vicious, the intemperate, would rush into the utmost extravagance of debauchery, sell and spend all their share, and then demand a new division of those who purchased from them.” Since we know that you are joyfully engaging in the extravagant debauchery that will destroy this nation, which one are you, sir, idle, vicious, or intemperate? I guess it does not matter, as your actions have classified you and Liberty cannot afford someone like you in government.

I believe that we can only judge men by their actions. You and those who follow you love to wrap yourselves in the flag and call yourselves “conservatives.” I have discovered by your actions that the definition of a “conservative” is one who loves money, power and prestige and cares little about the Constitution. Now you have fallen so deeply in love with our money that you want to have unlimited access to it so you and your president can become intimately engaged in your political fornication at our expense. You forget one thing, sir, that is not your money, its not even mine anymore, it belongs to my son. You may have been able to sweet talk my generation into debt, but you are now interfering with my son’s Liberty and that WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. You have a very short time to mend the errors of your ways. You and your supporters will be removed from office and frankly we no longer care if the “other side” wins. We know where they stand and we can prepare for them. It is you who are more dangerous than the snake we can see. You are a predator of the worst sort. So don’t try to sweet talk us anymore. We will no longer be betrayed by your kiss and 30 pieces of silver.

Mr. Boehner, since you and your followers love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, GO HOME from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your defense. Crouch down and lick the hands of your lord and master, Barack Obama. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!

In my opinion; based on things I am seeing and reading, particularly from outsiders, we are heading to an epitome... a crest if you will... What will happen when we reach that tip is anyone's guess. I hope the ultimate doesn't happen but I can no longer deny this prospect. Like most others; even the few democrats that I know that really act more like conservatives, we are painfully aware of what is going on here. May God have his hand over each and every one of us' heads, hands and hearts that we know what to do, when to do it that his name and his land be glorified.

Obama and Boehner are both jokes....and they aren't the funny kind either! They both tell the American people one thing and they both go behind closed doors and do something else. I'm tired of listening to both of them. They are both liars. Boehner isn't Conservative and has to be a Republican Progressive. He shouldn't be a Republican. He doesn't listen to the people or our Representatives. He just can't march in Obama's office and make decisions w/o Congress. Why he got another term is beyond me! If he gives Obama a free credit card to rack up the debt in 3 months...we will all suffer for it. Congress....wake up...you have a pirate running the ship. Stop the insanity now! I wish I could fire each and every one of you and start again! If Congress had done the job they should have done....Obama wouldn't be President today.

Great letter KrisAnne. As Rush L. says, the Republicans are going to keep saying, "we'll get them next time."
Bull, and they don't have any intentions to stop them. They are going right along with them. They just have to put on a show for the people. They can't have us know that they are all in on this together, and the majority will believe there is a two party system. Only those now wide awake know they put on a show to keep the people in their false security belief.

It looks like the Republicans would realize by now all they care about is spending and making them look like idiots and they haven't had to work at it real hard. The pubs have fallen for every trick in the book even falling on their own sequestration and commiting harry karry...What a joke and they think the dumb dems are laughing with them.

Amendment XXVII"No law varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives shall take effect until an election of Representatives shall have intervened."

If Boehner is advocating holding back pay for Congress as a tool to pressure the Senate to pass a budget (or any other reason), he is once again proving that he is nothing more than a posing, bluffing, blow-hard idiot with no more respect for the US Constitution or the American People than Obama.
